Residents Can Report Potholes or Problems – Then Track the Progress in Repairing Them

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., July 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McMahon Associates, Inc., a national transportation engineering and planning firm headquartered in the Philadelphia area, today introduced a powerful new technology tool to help municipalities and businesses better manage activities ranging from pothole repair to traffic light maintenance, permitting and snow removal. The tool can save taxpayer dollars and help businesses and municipalities run more efficiently.

Traisr is a web-based infrastructure asset-management application that relies on a Geographic Information System (GIS) to help users track, manage, maintain and report on vital assets quickly and easily -- on the road or off. Already being used by municipalities along the east coast, Traisr is marketed to municipal governments and businesses that maintain vehicle fleets or have complex campuses to maintain, such as recreational facilities, landscaping companies, hospitals and utility operators.

Developed by McMahon Associates, Inc., Traisr consists of seven modular components that municipalities and companies can customize for their individual needs.

"Traisr is an asset and infrastructure management application made to order," said John DePalma, Principal of Traisr. "The system is completely customizable and scalable; customers can add as many of the modules as fit their needs, whether with one or a thousand users."

Land Use Centrl – Offers parcel, zoning and land use planning data. Can be used to generate buffer zones around an entity(s) and then communicate with residents in that zone.

All modules work on a computer, tablet or smartphone and can be accessed on or offline. The system is web based, does not require any software add-ons, and data can be stored either on the cloud or on premise. All of the data is one location, and at the user's fingertips.

"Traisr ultimately does what every asset manager wants –saves time and money," said Brian Berdel, Chief Information Officer of Traisr. "Past data can be migrated into the system, allowing the customer to review areas for improvement and adjust the current plan year after year."
